Trivia
From 1996 to 2013, this music video held the Guinness World Record as the longest music video. Pharrell Williams would surpass this record by creating a literal 24-hour music video for his song "Happy". As of 2024, Twenty One Pilots holds the record for the longest music video for Twenty One Pilots: Level of Concern Never-Ending (2020), which ran for precisely 177 days, 16 hours, 10 minutes, 25 seconds.

Quotes
Maestro: Did I scare you?

Alternate versions
The first screening of the movie featured only the "2Bad" song, from the 1995's "HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I" album. But since the marketing campaign had already started for Jackson's next album "Blood On The Dance Floor: HIStory In The Mix" they added "Is It Scary" and "Ghosts", both from the new album, which was released in January 1997.

10/10, As music videos go, Ghost is spectacular and only the true King of Pop could produce such a masterpiece!

As a life long fan of Michael Jackson, you could argue that I am bias. But one of the reasons why Jacko's career is so amazing, is his music videos. No artist in history has created as many fantasical music videos as he. Billie Jean, Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Leave Me Alone, Black or White, Remember the Time.... This list goes on, Jacko is a quality entertainer!

The dancing is spectacular, The soundtrack is awesome, the melodies and rifts are vintage Jackson and the special fx are superb.

Sure, it could be seen as Thriller of the 90's, but who else could produce such a thing? Madonna? not a chance! anyone? not even close!

What suprises me the most is its limited release and promotion. If the music was publisised more and the short film was given its deserved air-time, then people would have to stand back and watch in ore of a true genius at work.

10/10, As music videos go, Ghost is spectacular and only the true King of Pop could produce such a masterpiece!
